    Well of course bees my FI favorite song for me to walk down the aisle to in Canon in D.  Believe me I love this song but I walked down the aisle to this song for my first wedding so I feel kind of weird walking down to it again.  My FI knows this was the song that I walked down to but he said he doesn't care he just loves it so much. I have made him listen to so many different versions of this song without telling him that it was Canon in D but he knew everytime I played a new version he knew it was Canon in D.

    I love this song tooo so part of me is saying if that is what he likes and I like it too well who cares......but.....I am afraid that when he hears the song before he sees me he will think about my ex-husband!

    Any help, should I just go ahead and give the green light for Canon in D?  I have looked and looked and can't really find any other song similar to Canon in D.

    Dereksbride, I wouldn't worry. In that special moment, he may not even see you yet, but all he will be able to think about is when you will appear. I can pretty much guarantee you that you will be the first and probably only thing on his mind...definitely not your ex.

    Now, if it were the other way around -- you wanted the song but he didn't because of your ex, it would be different, and I'd say no no.

    However, all of that being said, YOU don't want to be thinking of your ex when you walk down the aisle, so if you aren't comfortable with the song, I think you FH will understand. He too wants to be the only man on your heart and mind.

    That's a hard situation. I'm not sure if I'd do it if I were in your shoes.

    I'm looking through some of my sheet music and classical music stuff. What instruments will you have, or is it going to be a recording?

    maybe you need some sort of quite moment to reclaim this song as your own to give to your FI.  maybe you and your FI sit down quitely and with the music playing in the background tell eachother something about the music and your love for eachother....  i know its  sounds all very hoodoo voodooo but it might make you feel better about it

    @fiftyfootbride- we have the option of having a cello and piano (more money though) or a recording which is free. 

    eloping- that doesn't sound like a lot of hooodooo voooodooo!

    Gemstone- I love love love the song but I never thought of it the way you said, I don't want to think of my ex husband (although him and I will always remain friends) when I am walking down the aisle but I really don't think I will, I better not!

    I think it's a great opportunity to create a new memory for that song... and the main memory of that song.  It's like changing the vibe of it, know what I mean?

    My brain is being stupid as far as classical goes, I keep thinking of stuff with a whole lot of pomp. (I.E. Vivaldi Spring, Brandenburg Concerto, etc)

    BUT

    This is sort of random, but I bookmarked this on my youtube a while ago. It's a cello and piano, beautiful, but contemporary. Just listen, it's beautiful, even though it's probably not really what you're going for. :)

    @fiftyfootbride- Oh my gosh that is the song I want, now I have been searching for the sheet music for it for my celloist and pianoist and I can't find it.  I know I could just get the sheet music for Love Story and Viva La Vida but it would help to know exactly how he mixed the two and know the exact placement of notes.  Oh no I hope I can find it, thank you so much, hopefully it all works.  I also like his Pacabel meet U2 version!

    No problem! I'm trying to look for the sheet music for you too. :) I'm so glad you like it. Isn't it just fantastic? I love the percussion too! It's just so awesome.

    dereksbride2b: I wouldn't worry about what he will think when he sees you float down the aisle! He will think about how beautiful you are and maybe not even hear the music!
